By repotting I take it you mean reposting. Noting someone else's original content and fluffing it up is sort of fine. Provided the fluffing involves original investigation then all OK but I doubt this is.

The original source is generally the best source to quote, not an aggregator.



Given that R and T are at lot closer on the keyboard than S and T, I'm pretty sure that "repotting" is supposed to be "reporting".


This is not an aggregator.

The bottom of the article states that this is the original source.

The previous poster meant “reporting” not reposting as you interpreted.


Reporting, not reposting. Forum Communications did a big push against marijuana legalization in ND a few years ago when I think they should have stayed neutral. And I don't like some of their columnists


So because you disagree with them you prefer they didn't exist?

You don't think they have a right to their opinions, and the right to make some money?


You are not appreciating just how far right some of these small rural outlets have swung. Some of ‘’em make Pravda look legit, and I’m only barely exaggerating.


To be fair, there are many excellent news outlets which were further to the right of Pravda.


Wait, are you seriously implying that if someone is far right they don't have the right to speak?


I do not believe corporations should have the right to free speech. Look into the crap Sinclair is doing making local anchors a go in corporate-written screeds word for word , while speaking as if it was their personal opinion.
